The developers of Fahrenheit cites a lack of enthusiasm from publishers for the decision...
Speaking in an interview with German site Working Title, Quantic Dream's Chief Operating Officer Guillaume de Fondaumiere has confirmed that the next-gen project Infraworld has been cancelled because, "...the concept did not appeal to publishers." The company, which developed last year's Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy if you're reading this in North America), also confirmed that gamers shouldn't expect to get their hands on Omikron: The Nomad Soul 2 until 2009.
Both titles were announced to TVG when we spoke to the developer's CEO David Crane in April 2005, when Omikron: The Nomad Soul 2 was described as being at an "very early prototype" phase.
It wasn't all doom and gloom for Quantic Dreams fans in the interview however as Mr de Fondaumiere did confirm that the company is working on an original IP for the next-gen consoles, PSP, and PC, with news on the title expected at E3 2006.
We'll have more on Quantic Dream shortly...
